It's maybe the least of his sins, but Trump is just the tackiest guy.

He's a mobbed up redlining developer from Queens who desperately craves acceptance from the Manhattan set, but never cared to learn the basics of how to mimic class.

He can't even pull off dictator chic right. He's Temu Saddam.

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

HAYES: “Let me be as clear as I can — Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

Mexican-American Artists Celebrate Day of the Dead Amid ICE Attacks Artists in New York City are using their art to strengthen the Mexican community in the face of federal immigration raids.

This isn't unusual here in the US, or in Mexico, as folks have used the holiday to bring awareness to community problems through social protest. From Chicanos bringing awareness to gang violence back in '73 to remembering those who died in ICE custody and from COVID-19 it's part of the heritage.

CBP and ICE agents continue using aggressive tactics against both witnesses and people being detained. When these actions extend to schools, daycare centers, and now even Halloween parades, it’s clear that children are not spared from their use of force.

my professor at ucla, saul friedlander, used to say that nazism was the negation of all life, so when i see these clips of ice agents beating dodgers fans after the world series or kidnapping people at home depot, it’s just the negation of all human life. the elimination of humanity.

A CHATTANOOGA veteran processes his new health care reality

This is what @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn and Trump are fighting not to fix

UPDATE: Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel just fired a guy he blames for outing him for taking a jet to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match.

‘Veep’ had nothing on this crew. 🎪

James Ross Gardner reports on Portland, where the contrast between Donald Trump’s characterization of the city and the situation on the ground is stark: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/foqRuZ

This is fascism.

SO beautiful, so graceful, WOW.

Should definitely be interesting to watch the Donald The Dove contingent explain away Trump's warmongering here. Good @swin24.bsky.social reporting: note voices of caution being sidelined:

UN HUMAN RIGHTS CHIEF: “These attacks and their mounting human cost are unacceptable…. airstrikes by 🇺🇸 on boats in the Caribbean and in the Pacific violate international human rights law…” apnews.com/article/un-u...

A part of me wonders how much of the Trump strategy was influenced by the right-wing narratives about Chicago. Because if you’ve spent any time there or know its history, you’d know it is a city that is simultaneously capable of having a very real racism problem AND disdain for authoritarianism.

Inflammatory falsehoods to distract from the fact that cutting SNAP is widespread child sacrifice.

Ofc there’s saying the quiet part out loud, losing the veneer of deniability re: how Nazi they are, etc. but when these POS say stuff like this on TV, they encourage people’s meanest tendencies, rather than finding the part of themselves that might strive for connection.

What leaders say matters.

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE PERMANENTLY BLOCKS EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRING VOTERS TO SUBMIT PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP - COURT RULING

ICYMI — “judge ordered Trump to continue paying for food stamps during the shutdown, siding with local officials & nonprofits to spare millions of low-income Americans from losing benefits…”

Opposition says ‘hundreds’ killed in Tanzania post-election protests Tanzania's FM says 'no excessive force' has been used and government has 'no figures' on any protesters killed.

As the world (rightly) focuses on the predictable return of Israeli atrocities in Gaza and the massacres in Sudan, there’s also very worrying news from Tanzania: dozens of deaths after opposition protest against rigged elections: aje.io/8uyoyl

HOA Under Fire After Letter Outlining Plan To Ban 'Outsider' Trick-Or-Treaters From Their Neighborhood Leaks

Well, that's just sad.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) is condemning ICE for "snatching up children and breaking up families" after two children were detained and ICE rejected offers by local law enforcement to reunite the kids with their pleading mother. #copolitics

Grrrr

Echoes of Four Seasons Total Lawn Care.

She went too far even for Florida. That's... an accomplishment.

Colin Seeberger comments, “He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.” Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: “Bringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.

“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

GOOD.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is advocating for Flock surveillance cameras, sometimes using false or misleading claims. His claim that Flock cameras solved a missing woman's murder is not true. Her mother tells our @spencersoicher.bsky.social she is "shocked and appalled" by the Mayor's claim.
